“The foreign footprint in Tennis is second to none,” said Chase Altieri, a former Winthrop tennis athlete. “And honestly without that I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today they taught me what hard work meant. It hurts my heart because I don’t want that opportunity taken away from future generations.”
